Warren poured some chips of the Pringles can, 6 chips were broken which represents 8% of the can. In all, how many chips were in the Pringles can?

0.08x = 6

x = ?

Is the answer 48?

No.

Divide 6 by 0.08.

Oh I understand it's 75

To find out how many chips were in the Pringles can, we need to use the given information that 6 chips represent 8% of the can.

Let's set up a proportion to solve for the total number of chips in the can:

(6 chips) / (x total chips) = (8%) / (100%)

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve the equation:

6 * 100% = 8% * x

600% = 8% * x

To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 8%:

x = (600%)/(8%)

Now, convert the percentages to decimal form:

x = (600/100) / (8/100)

Simplifying further:

x = 6 / 0.08

x = 75

Therefore, there were 75 chips in the Pringles can.
